Description

Want to kickstart your journey as a Scrum Master? Join Barry Overeem and Christiaan Verwijs for the Scrum.orgProfessional Scrum Master-course; an intense training for stating Scrum Masters that are looking for the real story.

Why join?

An honest story, grounded in the personal experience of well-known Scrum Masters and trainers Barry Overeem and Christiaan Verwijs and the hundreds of teams and Scrum Masters they've worked with over the years;

We work with small groups (12 tot 16 participants). This means there is ample opportunity for personal guidance and coaching;

The course includes a Retrospective between 2 and 3 months after the course. The Retrospective is a great way to learn from the other Scrum Masters, receiving and giving help and achieving your learning objectives;

A serious-but-fun training that aims to energize and inspire you in your journey with Scrum;

Prepare for your PSM-I Assessment by practicing with difficult caes and assignments during the course. By participating, you receive a free code (and retry) for the PSM-I assessment and a discount for the PSM-II Asessment. Both the PSM-I and PSM-II are industry recognized certificates that demonstrate a deep understanding of the content. We would like to note, however, that no certificate replaces real-world experience with Scrum;
